Flow Chart of Functional Group Transformations.

Functional group transformation/inter conversion is the process of converting one functional group into another by several type of reactions like, substitution, addition, elimination, reduction, or oxidation etc., by the use of reagents and different reaction conditions.

Following are the simplified flow charts, which I found in a random Google search, showing flow diagrams of many common organic functional group transformations in aliphatic and aromatic class of compounds. 

1. Functional group transformations in Aliphatic systems.



2. Functional group transformations in Aromatic systems.
